I am all for liberty... but people also need protection. So, a permit system would be a great way to allow both. However, i disagree with your idea.
3 strikes and you're out??! How many chances should a person get when that could be three gaboon vipers in suburbia! 1 strike if an innocent is bitten? within what timeframe? What is stopping a highly venomous snake escaping, and biting someone 3 years later??
1 strike and you're out sounds more pliable. Escapes shouldn't occur - period. People's lives are at stake.
So, perhaps it would be better to only allow newbies to keep snakes of lesser danger, and then build up to the 'icons'. Say, minimum 1 or 2 years owning a non-venomous, then up from there.
Still - discussion is the only thing that's going to stop the banning altogether. No point letting it go until it's too late
Cheers.
